In 1882, 43 families escaped the pogroms of Russia and settled in this rural Southern New Jersey community as the first successful Jewish agricultural colony in the United States. They believed in a “return to the soil.” They organized a Chevra Kadisha and built a synagogue and in 1891 they formally founded Alliance Cemetery.
